HELENE Left Thousands of Vehicles Unrecognizable: Clean up Will Take Years: What is This Vehicle?

[@todayisit3]

Jake knows what he's doing. A very caring hard working man.

[@rogerhare7886]

After watching this, my respect for Jake and his crew has grown exponentially…didn’t think that was possible. ❤

[@bsholderlowescs]

Jake is a Godly man and I believe his every effort has been prayed over before he begins. May God Bless hm abundantly for staying the course. Jake needs our support too.

[@janets6474]

Unless you have worked a tractor to farm, to clear or grade off land, unless you have watched these large trackhoes and dozers work, there is no way to comprehend the amount of work needed to clean up this mess. While this video is long, and to some even boring, its ESSENTIAL in showing just how monumental the scope of this work is. Not to mention the precarious positions these operators must put themselves and their equipment in to get to the debris. This is one machine, on one pile on one small patch of ground. There are HUNDREDS of miles, on both sides of the rivers, creeks, lakes and streams. Then, there are THOUSANDS of debris flows no where near the water, completely seperate from waterways, on the sides of mountains. It requires an immense amount of work and time to untangle all this mess. God bless them all, each one for their tireless work. There is really no end in sight for those of us who live here. But these individuals, those who film and conduct interviews, people who come to help clean out a house or a business, those who search and clean up debris piles, fix roads and provide access with bridges, there are no words to convey how you are giving us hope.

Hopefully ,their "elected representatives" or the bureaucrats will see and understand the extent of the clean up.

Heartbroken at the destruction in the mountains we love and visit every few months. Always moved to tears watching Jake restore the beauty of the river and bring hope and joy to those he is serving. I never knew an excavator could be like an artist’s brush in the hand of a master painter. I am so thankful to you for letting the rivers dance again and for restoring their peaceful beauty-in praise to their/our Creator. Thank you.

I know this is a late comment for this video, but it would be a good idea to do a sit down, life story about Jake when it is possible. I'm sure many would be interested. He is considered a hero, at least in my opinion. Keep up the good work John, God bless you, Jake and many others.
